NEW YORK - After 12 years advocating for abortion rights, Joe Solmonese might have opted for a less divisive field of work. Instead, he is taking over leadership of the largest national gay-rights group at a time when the same-sex marriage debate rivals abortion for volatility and virulence. "My challenge is to talk about why the equality we seek is not just important to our community, but should be important to everyone," Solmonese said. "I have to believe in the optimism and fair-mindedness of the American people." Solmonese was named last week as the new president of the Washington-based Human...

President Donald Trump has promised sweeping reforms to "horrendous" US banking regulations that were introduced after the financial crisis. "We're going to do a very major haircut on Dodd-Frank," he said, referring to the Wall Street and consumer protection rules Barack Obama enacted in 2010. Dodd-Frank aimed to prevent banks taking on too much risk and to separate their investment and commercial arms.

Posted 2008 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:35,37 KJV All the outrage over Bernie Madeoff is pretty surprising. Sure he bilked people out of everything they had, putting them in financial disaster and bankruptcy? So he lied to people over decades taking everything they saved in a fraudulent investment Ponzi scheme bankrupting Pension/Charity and College funds. So he was lying to investigators about those cooked books...

Whats Barney Franks take on President Donald Trumps first action to scale back the landmark financial overhaul law that bears his name? Dont bank on it succeeding, he says. [ ] Any scaling back of Dodd-Frank would have a difficult time getting through Congress, because many Republican lawmakers constituents favor policing Wall Street, Frank told The Associated Press in an interview. He spoke Friday after Trump signed an executive order directing the Treasury secretary to review the Dodd-Frank law. Trump has called the law a disaster, pledging to dismantle it.

On Tuesdays broadcast of MSNBCs Hardball, former Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) quipped that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was actually the leading advocate of fag-burning, not flag burning, which caused confusion for President-Elect Donald Trump. Frank, after noting that Justice Antonin Scalia opposed bans on flag-burning, said Trump cited Scalia as his favorite judge. I think there was a pronunciation problem there. Scalia was actually the leading advocate of fag-burning, not flag-burning, and I think thats where he got himself a little confused.

Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) spoke at the Democratic National Conventions LGBT Caucus meeting on Tuesday where he harshly criticized GOP presidential nominee Donald Trumps promise to appoint a Supreme Court Justice like the late Antonin Scalia. There has never been a more highly placed militant homophobe in the history of the United States, Frank said of Scalia. He was a bigot. [ ] This is not the first time Frank has called Justice Scalia a homophobe. He most recently told Slate following Scalias death that he was troubled that his homophobia never got mentioned when he died.

Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Saturday rejected a proposal to include a statement in the party's platform calling for Israel's "end to occupations and illegal settlements," CNN reported. ... While the committee voted against the addition 95-73, CNN reported that the move garnered the loudest negative response of the day from the audience. ... One crowd member was escorted out of the meeting after he stood up and yelled that the party had "sold out" to AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee).

Bernie Sanders supporters lost a debate over international trade that divided Democrats during a meeting in Orlando on Saturday to draft their party platform. Sanders supporters had hoped the party's official position statement for 2016 would include language explicitly rejecting the Trans-Pacific Partnership, while backers of Hillary Clinton, the presumptive nominee, argued for softer language. Both presidential candidates oppose the controversial trade agreement, but it was championed by President Barack Obama, leaving the party in an awkward position.

He hasn't updated his Twitter account in 2 days. He hasn't said anything about the Democrat's nominee getting away with this, but he's attacked Trump throughout this campaign. It's unfortunate that he was our candidate in a very winnable election. The Republican Establishment caused the Trump movement. https://twitter.com/MittRomney?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

Extending an olive branch to Bernie Sanders and his supporters, Hillary Clinton on Wednesday will announce a plan to make in-state public colleges and universities free for students from families who make less than $125,000 a year. Sanders made free in-state tuition a core plank of his campaign for the Democratic nomination, and Clinton and Sanders discussed the issue in their meeting last month, according to a Clinton aide. Clinton often mocked that plan from Sanders during the primary, saying she didn't want taxpayers to pay for Donald Trump's kids' education. Her plan includes an income cap Sanders' did not....

Some of Bernie Sanders 1,831 New York delegates cant scrape up enough cash to attend this months Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia  so theyve turned to crowdfunding websites to raise the cash. The cost definitely was a surprise, said Jessica Frisco, 23, a delegate from the Upper West Side. People are freaking out. Unlike the savvy operators who usually win slots as convention delegates, some from Sanders campaign say they had no idea they would have to spend up to $5,000 on travel expenses.

Former Senator Al DâAmato (R-NY) dropped a bomb on Sunday Morning Futures this AM. DâAmato told Maria Bartiromo that Hillary allowed Russia to take ownership of US uranium so they could sell it to Iran. Hillary made it possible for the Russians to take control of one of our huge uranium producers and allow them to own the company, export the uranium and who do they sell the uranium to? Iran! Now if people knew that and that the foundation as a result of that got $135 million. I think people would start saying, âWhat?â Former Senator Al DâAmato (R-NY)...

On Friday in a press conference, Attorney General Loretta Lynch vowed to "accept" investigators' and prosecutors' recommendations regarding whether to indict presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's alleged use of an insecure email server. This announcement set aside whisperings that Lynch would be a safety net for Clinton if an indictment was recommended, particularly in light of a certain tarmac rendezvous with Bill. While Clinton waits to hear her fate, some wonder if an indictment would help the all-but-defunct campaign of her rival, Bernie Sanders. Looking at the inevitable domino reaction that could come with an indicted presidential candidate, the question...

Enthusiasm for Warren is artificially amplified by a sympathetic media echo chamber. This phenomenon is not unlike Huntsman Â12Â (SNIP) I know what youÂre thinking: Warren beat Brown. Scott Brown out-campaigned Warren in MA Senate Â12Â and would have won, were it not for 3 factors out of his controlÂ (SNIP) Despite ObamaÂs landslide victory (61-38), Warren won by a narrow margin: 53-47, meaning a significant number of Obama voters defected to Brown. (SNIP) That cycle, many Democrat Senate candidatesÂ running in much less favorable territoryÂ won by greater margins: â Tom Carper 66.4% â Sheldon Whitehouse 64.8% â Joe...

On Tuesday Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of cheering the housing crisis that saw millions of Americans lose their homes. Hillary Clinton was probably hoping her comments during the crisis would not surface.

May 11, 2016 Michael Covel An insidious new fantasy is blooming in Washington, D.C, academia and the media Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders dreams about it in between bong hits. Its lovingly endorsed by off the wall left-wing economist Paul Krugman. And the ultra-progressive Huffington Post calls it the idea that could revolutionize the 21st century. The hype surrounding this revolutionary idea will soon be an everyday talking point. And if youre a hard-working citizen who takes care of your own responsibilities, you should pay extra close attention Because youre about to get fleeced and forced to enjoy it Utopian...

Barney Frank, a long serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts, voiced concerns regarding the safety of gay Americans, an "Islamic element" in terrorism and an increased need for surveillance and gun control. Frank spoke of the attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando this weekend in an interview with the New York Times Monday.
